Beauty and Becoming
Beauty and Becoming is a sanctuary for women who are ready to stop fixing themselves and start meeting themselves.
Hosted by Coco — licensed esthetician, Reiki practitioner, certified Ayurvedic health instructor, and intuitive catalyst with over twenty years in the beauty industry — this show explores beauty not as something to apply or correct, but as something to remember. Something that has always lived within you, waiting to be revealed.
Each episode is an invitation to come home — to your body, to the essence of your unique beauty, and to the wholeness that was never actually missing.
We talk about holistic self-care as a devotional practice, beauty as a threshold to the Divine, and the real, honest, sometimes messy process of becoming who you actually are.
Beauty isn't something we apply. It's something we awaken.
New episodes every week. Come as you are.

105. Self-Care with the Seasons: The Energy of July Says... It's Time to Come Home | With Carly Whorton
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It is that time again! I am back with the wonderful Carly Whorton for our monthly energy chat for July.
First, we take a moment to honor and reflect on how the energy that we discussed for June showed up in our lives over the course of the last month.
Then, I share the oracle card that I pulled for the month of July and how the mythological story of the Selkie Woman illustrates the themes that are so potent during this season.
Carly then guides us through all of the major astrological events and transits that are happening in July - and it's a big moment.
As Carly explains, July is a powerful bridge, and we are being asked to explore:
- Which of our two wolves are we feeding?
- Where do we need to re-examine and re-prioritize our needs?
- Where are we placing acceptance above freedom?
- Are we nurturing past versions of ourselves, or the version that we are becoming? And are we honoring all parts of ourselves in the process?
- Are we using our personal power to serve ego or collective consciousness?
This episode explains why we are entering into double king energy and what Hermione can teach us about freeing the dragon.
July challenges us to make our desires bigger than our need for approval, and offers a reminder that external validation does not equal security.

A note: Any book links you find here are through my Bookshop.org shelf. If you purchase through them, I receive a small commission — at no extra cost to you — and a portion also goes to support independent bookstores rather than a mega-retailer. It felt like a small, aligned way to keep sharing what I'm reading.
Thank you for being here in this Self-Care Sanctuary!
